Join Employment Partner, Amanda Badley, and the employment team for an informal and interactive discussion about all things HR. BHW’s Virtual Big Breakfast will be ideal for anyone responsible for HR issues within their business.

During this Virtual Big Breakfast session, we will be discussing important information relating to the Employment Rights Act.

The Employment Rights Act is one of the most significant overhauls of employment legislation in recent years, introducing wide-ranging reforms that will impact how employers recruit, manage, and support their workforce.

Key features of the act include:

  • Reduced qualifying period for unfair dismissal protection.
  • New restrictions on “fire and rehire” practices.
  • Enhanced rights for workers on zero-hours and low-hours contracts.
  • Day one rights to paternity leave and unpaid parental leave.
  • Reforms to Statutory Sick Pay, including earlier entitlement.
  • Stronger protection against workplace harassment, including by third parties.
  • Greater protections for pregnant employees and new mothers.
  • New bereavement leave rights.
  • Changes to collective redundancy consultation rules.
  • Flexible working strengthened as a default workplace practice.
  • Extended time limits for bringing Employment Tribunal claims.
  • Increased trade union rights and workplace protections.
  • Creation of the Fair Work Agency to enforce employment rights.
